Manitou Tower fork advice

Should the crown of these forks not be the same colour as the lowers ? I may of located a bargain but am suspicious that all is not right as the crown appears to be the same colour as the stanchions in this photo.

Having searched around I think it looks like an older Manitou Minute upper assembly with 2013 Tower lowers. They are described as new £250 ono but I've been unable to find any other Towers that do not have matching crown and lower colours.
Probably better off asking the German seller I guess.
